    Very Clever

    If you take a look at the death maps, you'd see it's pretty much fact.

    Time to ditch the Torch/Flashlight

    I agree with you, but it's what the mod said. He said that he agreed with the idea that if it weren't for freshies spawning into night servers, we'd start with nothing. Then on his next post he says that it's "quite some time into the apocolypse". Both of these cannot be possible. Either you spawn with nothing, which cannot possibly be "quite some time in" or you'd be dead, or you spawn with maybe a LITTLE something...A jacket, a hoodie, ANYTHING and make the idea you claim actually believable.

    Players start with a map

    I rarely use one anymore, I did when I first started. After a while you'll start to remember where the towns are, what they're called, how to read the signs. use the coast and train tracks to your advantage, etc. etc. etc.. I've played about 150 hours, if that means anything.

    Time to ditch the Torch/Flashlight

    Apparently one that is logically backwards...How one can survive for "quite some time" without warm clothes is beyond me...But hey, I got a flashlight!!!! He must have just shined the light on himself for warmth that ENTIRE time...GIve me a break, it makes no sense and you know it.

    Time to ditch the Torch/Flashlight

    If it's quite some time into the apocolypse, then why does my toon spawn in a Tshirt in 0 degree weather? If it were, in fact, quite some time into the apocolypse, he'd be long since frozen.

    ballistic knife

    I still think it would be awesome if they put in one of those Russian ballistic knifes. It would cool to sneak up on someone, pop em with it and recover it off their body to use again, same for zeds and whatnot. It would obviously be a cqc weapon, but I think it would be a pretty cool addition and would fit the theme of everything being in Russian lol. It also adds a cool alternative to firearms, which most people think are too prevalent.

    ballistic knife

    A gun that shoots knives is neither a gun, nor what I am talking about. It is a normal knife, like many other knives, it's just weighted and spring loaded in case you need to get the job done from a slight distance (in a fight with an axe weilder, for instance). I don't really see how it could be impractical as it would serve the same purpose as any knife, but can be used more effectively in close combat than a normal knife.

    I created a DayZ trading platform

    Beans on the name of the thing, so good man lol

    ballistic knife

    Not quite, it's more like "don't post if you have nothing of value to add to the conversation", which I believe I have stated before. Again, I don't mind if people disagree, but I mind when people come in here being belligerent and rude. Also, "I don't like it, it's impractical" isn't a reason, it's a baseless opinion. WHY is it impractical and what would YOU suggest for something outside the game already? See how that would lead to a discussion? The key here is to be constructive, very little of this thread actually has been.

    ballistic knife

    Sure, you can look at it like that. But another thing I learned when I was 5 was not to start arguements, but when people start with you, standing up for yourself is justified. I've said it once and I'll say it again. If you don't agree, then you can simply say why instead of telling me how terrible my idea is. Even on your post you provided no reasoning, just another baseless opinion. I couldn't care less if people don't like the idea, it's only an idea. But just coming here to talk shit isn't constructive. Coming onto someones thread to belittle them and having nothing of value to add the conversation is nothing but being a troll. Sure, I guess I'm guilty of feeding them...That's my bad. But still, I at least gave reasons why it would fit. I've yet to see a real reason why it wouldn't.

    ballistic knife

    Also, nobody said anything about a 10 yard shot...I specifically said "a few yards, at most" and even specifically said "5-10 feet". Also, what does "dropping" helpless animals have to do with the sound a person makes when they're penetrated by ANY object? For that matter, in what way does anything that you just said apply to this conversation?
  12. Finchtastic

    ballistic knife

    "lose the attitude, people will take you seriously"....."this is no different. I'm correct"....Yeah, contradictory and hypocritical posts hold zero value to me. If you can't get your own standpoint straight, your comments hold little weight.
  13. Finchtastic

    ballistic knife

    Yeah, I get it. However, the reasons given were either misguided, incorrect or just outright disrespectful. If someone has a reason why they think it shouldn't be in there, by all means, say it. But trying to belittle people, making baseless assumptions and accusations and flat out telling someone their ideas and opinions are shit, without having any reason to back your claim, is just pointless, childish and irritating.
  14. Finchtastic

    ballistic knife

    OR, you get people forcefully injecting their shit opinions unecessarily into other peoples posts, because they have literally nothing of value to say and can't find attention elsewhere. No beans.

    How much of DayZ have you experienced?

    Aww, that's butal man lol...
  16. Finchtastic

    How much of DayZ have you experienced?

    false, those doors/walls are some of the worst ones when it comes to zombie glitching through lol. Stay inside any building long enough and the zombie outside will get in, in my own experience anyway.
  17. Finchtastic

    So what do you guys mostly find at heli crashes?

    M4 mags, ammo and attachments...Never an M4...Found a grenade once though.

    How much of DayZ have you experienced?

    I call shenanigans on the locking a zombie in a room question. Everyone knows you can't do that, lol.
  19. Finchtastic

    How much of DayZ have you experienced?

    You need a test kit to make sure it's the right type or you die, if it's not the right type, of course.

    Grenade glitch question

    Hold G instead of just pressing it and throw the grenade farther, lol
  21. Finchtastic

    Speculation about "coming" loot system(s)?

    Yeah, let's make a few thousand pieces of gear spawn across the entire game that over 2 MILLION people own...Yeah, that sounds like it would work...Wait, let me guess...You want high end loot to be even RARER than that? Dumb idea.
  22. Finchtastic

    ballistic knife

    There are no vendors because you cannot import them across state lines. If there were a place making them within state lines, I bet there would be. The laws are pretty straight forward, if you own or sell one over state lines, it's illegal. If you make, own or sell one in state (so long as it's legal in said state) it's legal. However, the law was passed in a bill drafted to destroy drug crops in another country, so I can see how it seems convoluted from the get-go. Also, the blade being weighted not only helps the blade fly right, but it also helps with penetration. Also, if it doesn't inflict a wound...Then that IS the purpose of a vest, isn't it? Also, in this country, I wouldn't be surprised if that testimony was a crock of shit...But hey, that's the history, I can't change it.

    Board games or Cards any one?

    BEANSSSSSSSSS just for the ff7 reference..What about the card game in 8? And Blitzball in 10? The games were one of the coolest parts...Now I wanna fire up my PS1 and finish off my ff7 I restarted a few months back.
  24. Finchtastic

    ballistic knife

    Not true, it was mass produced early on and are still legal to own and sell within state boundries, depending on the state. Also, it's a knife. It will penetrate almost anything the point hits, especially clothes. Do you know the reason it was banned (well, kind of banned-ish) in the US? The reason is that someone gave testimony to congress that the knife would penetrate police vests...So the clothing thing isn't really an issue. Also, "a reasonable distance" is a moot point, as it's not meant to be a ranged weapon. The blade only fires a few yards, at most. It's best used as a knife, when you can't get close enough to use a knife.

    ballistic knife

    Well, in all combat situations that would be preferable. The faster you can communicate, the more effective you will be. This applies to any team activity. I personally don't find calling a sniper rifle a "sniper" as irritating as someone calling a magazine a clip...But I suppose that's just me, lol.
